This week I had no clue what I was going to write about. There weren't any events that were exciting enough to write about. But then I thought about it, you don't know anything about what it is like here on a day to day basis, so what's boring to me, may be interesting for you. So today I am writing off the top of my head to give you what I would want to read if I was an incoming freshman.
In Bermuda I went to school from 8am-3:30pm. Sometimes I had a class that ended at 4:15pm. Let me reiterate;I am not a morning person. Here at NCCU, my classes start at 10am. Do you have any idea how LOVELY that is?!?!?! Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I start at 10am and finish at 12:50pm. (Go to the first orientation, it has its advantages) On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have a fitness class at 8am. Hold up, before you start saying "OH HECK NO!", after that 8am class my next class isn't until 1pm. Being the professional sleeper that I am, I'm sure you can guess how I productively use my time between 9am and 12pm. =)
I have all different types of teachers. Some teachers are fun whilst others have the ability to slowly put me to sleep. Its not that bad though.
The campus is very small. I thought that I would be lost getting around to my classes, or I would be tired from walking from class to class (but hoping to lose some weight lol), but getting around is pretty comfortable. NCCU's campus is pretty much flat compared to some schools I have visited which had a shuttle bus to take you from one building to the other.
I live in Vintage Baynes Hall. It is the oldest dorm with the reputation of being "GHETTO", "OLD" and "THE HOOD". Although it has all these not so great names, we house some GREAT students who love to have fun. I was walking back to Baynes from The Richmond Complex, a.k.a "New Res", at around midnight last week and when I left there it was SOO quiet! When I got to Baynes, there were about 10 girls outside skipping double dutch and boys and girls were on the benches laughing and talking about anything. Inside in the lounge, the fellas were freestyling, crumping and there were plenty tables of spades and bid whist (an intellectual card game..like the chess of cards) going on. So even though our furniture is bolted to the ground, and our beds are low (which seem to be the only complaint from the people in the Richmond Complex), we are only in there to SLEEP!!!! Baynes keeps it poppin'!!!
Don't always listen to what you've heard. I have heard so many different stories about Baynes, but I love it over there.
So to wrap up, make sure you go to the first orientation in order to get the classes you want =) and you honestly DO NOT KNOW until you have experienced it first hand.
VB STAND UP!!!
